          Abstract

          Com o desenvolvimento, na segunda metade do século XX, das novas tecnologias de neuroimagem para estudar o funcionamento do cérebro humano, uma nova onda de entusiasmo com as explicações materialistas dos fenômenos mentais invadiu os departamentos de filosofia e psicologia em todo o mundo. O auge de tudo isso foi a assim chamada "década do cérebro" nos anos 1990. Entretanto, um exame mais detalhado dos argumentos apresentados por esses novos materialistas revela padrões recorrentes de analogias e metáforas, além de uma velha estratégia retórica de apelar para um futuro distante, no qual todos os problemas serão resolvidos. Este trabalho pretende mostrar que essas novas formas de materialismo repetem estratégias discursivas de versões mais arcaicas do pensamento materialista, sobretudo do materialismo francês do século XVIII e do materialismo alemão do século XIX. Finalmente, uma interpretação para o eterno retorno do materialismo será oferecida.

          Translated abstract

          Since the new developments of neurotechnologies for studying the brain functioning in the second half of twentieth century, a new wave of enthusiasm for materialistic explanations of mental phenomena has invaded philosophy and psychology departments worldwide. The culmination of all this was the so-called "decade of brain" in the 1990s. However, a closer examination of the arguments presented by some of these new materialists reveals recurrent patterns of analogies and metaphors, besides an old rhetorical strategy of appealing to a distant future, in which all the problems will be solved. This paper intends to show that these new forms of materialism repeat discursive strategies of older versions of materialism, especially the French materialism of the 18th century and the German materialism of the 19th century. Finally, an interpretation for materialism's eternal return will be offered.
